Yo.

Got a photographer friend who's interested in, I quote,
"This former gaz factory and it architecture might form a photographically nice stage filled with unshaven ICT nerds and Nokia Vikings."

Is there any such thing as a "press" pass for the summit?
Is there any official contact point for this kind of requests? (no, not /dev/null ;-)

The wiki doesn't have much to say on this topic

A.

There are journalists and senior bloggers registered as media that are covering the event, yes. The quote of your friend doesn't correspond much to "press", though.

At this point the registration is closed. We simply can't fit more people.

Well, and being "press" myself, I've learned the benefit of actually registering early, even if it's just for a press pass, because I've gotten shut out a few times because I was late in registering. lol. Now oddly, I didn't register for one this year for the Nokia event because A) enough people are covering it, B) I didn't have the money (T_T) and C) my readers are more interested in what they can put their hands on now, not 6-18 months down the line. Well, at least presently they are.
